Ricotta and Pumpkin Pizza
Ricotta is fresh and rich where pumpkin is sweet and earthy, a contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
Creamy, mild ricotta adds soft, pillowy dollops of fresh dairy richness to pizza. Roasted pumpkin slices bring a subtle, earthy sweetness and beautiful autumn color. On a Brown Butter-Sage Sauce base, the sauce's nutty and toasty character ties the two together. The combination is fully vegetarian.
